Can honestly say, don't think I've had one single lead yet? Been active for a good while, don't think I'm getting the traffic?!

You will need to find out your site traffic i use google analytics  if you have no site traffic you won't get no work.

I get about 20-30 visits a week from erithwindowcleaning.com and i get one or two jobs a month off it from search only results and alot more work from customers that get a leaflet and contact me through the site.

my new site www.erithcleaning.co.uk will have more than one page which im hoping with the right seo will give me a higher search ranking for the search terms that i want.

That's a really nice looking website mate, personally I wouldn't do too much to it as its good as it is! I think my seo is letting me down, think I only get about 10 or so a week??

It looks fine - but watch out, here comes the spelling and grammar police ... Nee Naw! Nee Naw!

Restaurant not Resturant

Company's not Companys


And just an IMO ...

4/8 weekly cycle should end in a full stop and the Commercial bit should start with The ...

I get 35+ visits a week. Doesn't all convert to enquiries. Difficult to say how much I've made from it. It costs very little, I do all the SEO myself have never paid a web designer but definitely worth having.

Custards like at the very least the online banking facility.

I've signed up to analytics, find it all a bit confusing though, probably why I'm a window cleaner!

The reason is to give the customers or potential customers all the info they need if your offering services and you explain them well they may add that to having more pages helps with ranking a website as there is more content and google love good relevant content one page is like finding a needle in a haystack, people that complain they don't get any traffic do not spend the money or if they do they spend it in the wrong places panda and penguin updates on google have seen loads of sites drop off and lose rankings because people try to over engineer a website add pointless links to it with no substance all of which is a pointless time consuming. Hope that explains a little ;)
